Mary Josepha perspires

Mary Josepha raised the tempting drink to her lips and inhaled the fresh, fruity aroma deeply. She then took her first deep sip. Ah, what a treat.

The liquid ran down her throat like iced nectar. She immediately felt refreshed. Miraculously, the heat no longer seemed as oppressive as before. A pleasant easiness had taken hold of her.

"Feeling better now?" Trapp asked obligingly.

The novice mistress smiled gratefully at him. "Yes, indeed. That's a real magic potion. Thank you very much for this."

The pleasant cooling she felt inside, on the other hand, intensified the contrast to the heat outside. Mary Josepha was acutely aware of how her sweaty clothes stuck to her skin and began to itch in various places. To her surprise, the rapid cooling had caused her nipples to erect thickly and firmly, rubbing uncomfortably against the linen fabric of her shirt. What she particularly disliked, however, was that the sweat had collected in an unspeakable spot on her anatomy and soaked the hair sprouting there, causing an unbearable itch.

The mage smiled silently to himself. He made a sweeping, inviting gesture.

"You'll feel much better in a moment when we get you out of the blazing sun and into a place where you can recover and cool off. Please follow me."

With the girl by the hand, he walked ahead to a spacious tent, whose exterior was painted with imaginative depictions of various mythical creatures. Unexpectedly, a sturdy door in a metal frame was embedded in the tent wall.

"Inside you will find an air-conditioned room, entirely at your disposal and for as long as you wish. Feel free to close the latch on the inside so that you are completely private and undisturbed if you want to freshen up a little."

He looked at her with an innocent look in his eyes and took a step to the side. Although she knew it was inappropriate for a nun, she was flattered by his gallantry. The fruit drink tingled on her tongue and radiated its soothing effect throughout her body. Any mistrust she had felt towards the midget was wiped away. She drained the beverage can in one go and handed it back to him.

"Thank you very much for everything."

"You're welcome. Always at your service. I'll check on your well-being again later. But now I have to take care of this little darling first."

And he trotted off with the little girl by the hand.
